Here’s everything you need to know about watching the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals online via a live stream on Sunday.

Winners of four straight, the Pittsburgh Steelers (8-5) will head to Cincinnati on Sunday to play the Bengals (5-7-1). This AFC North battle has playoff implications, with Pittsburgh looking to hold onto their division lead.

If the playoffs were to start this week, Pittsburgh would be the No.3 seed in the AFC. With their 8-5 record, they hold a one game lead over the Baltimore Ravens (7-6). The division could come down to the Steelers/Ravens match-up on Christmas Day.

The Bengals are fresh off a major roster-move this week. After missing six PAT’s this year, the Bengals released long-time placekicker Mike Nugent. Along with the missed PAT’s, Nugent also had missed six field goal attempts. The 12 total misses were the most of his career. Journeyman Randy Bullock signed to replace Nugent. Bullock actually spent time with Pittsburgh this year, making all three of the field goals he attempted.

The Steelers have won the last three contests against the Bengals, including a 24-16 win in Week 2 of this season. Overall, the season has been up and down for the Steelers. They had a four game losing streak between Week 6 and Week 10. Only to go on a four game winning streak that is currently alive.

There is still a small chance for the Bengals to reach the playoffs. If they can get to eight wins and the Steelers and Ravens end up at 8-8, then they will get in based on their 8-7-1 record. Everyone hates the tie, but it is the key to the Bengals playoff hopes.

If Pittsburgh wins this game, they will knock the Bengals out of playoff contention.
